Is 20 Too Young for a Facelift?

sarah_90
I am 20 years old and I think I need a facelift to enhance my cheekbones. I don't want to have fillers or implants because it looks really fake and I already have fat cheeks. I don't want to have a buccal fat removal either. everytime i pull my cheek skin upwards, my cheekbones get more enhanced and it looks natural aswell. so my question is then, can you have a face-lift if you're 20 years old and have fat cheeks?
